Biden Has Less Than a Month to Meet His National Vaccination Goal
President Biden has less than a month left to reach perhaps his toughest coronavirus vaccination goal yet.
Biden’s objective is to give 70 percent of the U.S. adult population at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine by July 4, even as the pace of vaccinations slows and those without their shots are increasingly hesitant to get them or harder to reach.
“I don’t think it is against the odds,” said William Galston, a senior fellow of governance studies at the Brookings Institution, who also served as a policy adviser in the Clinton White House. “It’s what’s known in the business community as a ‘stretch goal.’ If the administration is very well organized and focused, there’s a pretty good chance they can get there.”
